Binance and Kraken are reportedly targets of hacker attacks.
According to sources familiar with the matter, major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Kraken have also been targeted in a recent hacking attack similar to the one disclosed by Coinbase. The sources said that Binance and Kraken were attacked in a similar manner to Coinbase, but their internal policies and technological defenses thwarted the attacks. One source mentioned that Binance discovered scammers offering bribes to their customer service staff and provided a Telegram account that could contact the criminals. Binance uses artificial intelligence to identify potential bribery attempts in different languages and prevent the conversation. Many exchanges also only allow customer service representatives to access customer information when they call in. The sources said that in December last year, security personnel at several competing exchanges realized that hackers were specifically targeting large holders on Coinbase. At least one exchange notified Coinbase's security team multiple times through Telegram.
